Also read: “Very unique (three-day match) - an emotional rollercoaster. I had many cups of chai just to keep myself going that late at night when we were all waiting during the rain break, not knowing how many overs we'd get in our chase. It was a little unsettling," Conway said. "Just before going in to bat, Mike Hussey [batting coach] told me, "Mate, think you want a can of Redbull to stay awake?" It was hard to stay mentally switched on, given how late it was. So I had a can of Redbull to get sharp and awake again. It ensured I was switched on from the first ball," he further added. Conway also spoke about Ravindra Jadeja's winning runs, adding that the celebration party went till late in the morning. “It was actually quite cool to finish the game that way, because we'd never experienced something like that. Jaddu [Ravindra Jadeja] hitting ten off two to win it the way he did made it even more exciting and the boys went on to celebrate the win w...

By India Today Sports Desk: Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar shot down Rohit Sharma's idea of having a three-match WTC Final after India lost the summit clash to Australia by 209 runs at The Oval on Sunday, June 11. Rohit expressed his desire for a three-Test match series for the WTC Final. The India captain emphasised that despite their hard work and determination, they only played a single game, adding that a three-match final would be more suitable for the next WTC cycle. When asked about Rohit's call, Gavaskar, while talking to India Today, said that teams knew about one final before the WTC cycle started. He also questioned whether players would demand "best of three" in the IPL. "No. This has been decided for a long time, you know even before you enter that first match of the cycle that the final is going to be just one-off. So, you have to be prepared mentally. Just like you prepare for the IPL, you don't say best of three. Everybody can have a bad day, or a couple of days, but before the first ball of the cycle you know what it is. So, you can't be asking for a best of three. Tomorrow, you may say best of five," Gavaskar told India Today. On Day 5 of the WTC Final, both teams struggled initially as Australia's accurate bowling was matched by the composed batting of Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane. However, in the seventh over, Scott Boland's precise delivery caused Kohli to edge the ball, resulting in a catch by Steve Smith. Boland continued his success by getting Ravi...
